The ceremony to observe ‘Memorial Day for the Fallen Soldiers of the Wars of Israel and Victims of Actions of Terrorism’ was held in memory of the 413 fallen residents of the city.
The large crowd of attendees included bereaved families, Mayor Avraham Rubinstein, rabbis, and many local residents.
The event was also attended by Ariel Yehezkel, a young child who survived the terror attack in Bnei Brak about a year ago. His father, Avishai HY”D, was murdered in the attack as he was protecting his son with his body.
Describing the story of young Ariel, Mayor Rubinstein said, “Ariel Yehezkel is celebrating his third birthday today – Upsherin without a father.”
At the conclusion of the ceremony, the crowd rose for the singing of Hatikvah, a true demonstration of unity.
It’s always so touching and warming, real unity when the relgious compromise, when the right gives for the left, never the other way around.
Give thanks to to HASHEM for the miracle of the State of Israel and its daily miracles. The deniers be-meizid
are playing with kefirah.
doesnt seem like they even know the words,lol. the Zionists dream is dead half of the population in the “Jewish state” could care less for herzl, BG or dayan. 22% are Arabs, 15% chareidim, 10% are non Jews like 1/4 ” Jews” non halachic Jews from Soviet Union and Bantu.
Wow, what participation!! I didn’t see any lips moving in the crowd. Did I miss something here? Sorry, but you’ve got to do better than that. There’s nothing wrong with the meaning of the words of hatikva. In fact the only reason they’re able to sit and learn all day and raise their families in freedom and peace is because of the sacrifice of “others” that put their lives on the line day and night so you can do what you do. Show some hakoras hatov for crying out loud. Such humble people. Did they at least say some tehillim at the ceremony?
Oh how miserably sad! Way worse to see this from Yidden Shomer Torah.
This Medinah was created to spite G ds existence. You can all fight the founders words. They powerfully stated it. ITS NOT MY WORDS.
How can a sane erlich Jew sing the national anthem full of טומאה?
May G d enlighten these Yidden and may we enbrace Moshiach and regain Yerushalayim with its holy beauty. Amen
Looks like none of the chareidim are singing the words. So they were at a municipal event where the song was sung by others and they didn’t do anything to antagonize in a hot political issue considering the emotional and painful day. Big deal. The implied spin on the headline and article is wrong. The whole crowd didn’t join in.
The secular Zionists have constantly been out to destroy
Yiddishkeit. They wanted to eradicate the Torah and its
followers. They keep trying to שמד ח”ו all of כלל ישראל and
turn them ככל הגוים ר”ל.
והקב”ה מצילנו מידם
Hashem turned the tables on them. Instead of Zionist stopping
us from learning Torah they became the largest financial
supporters of Torah. They spend billions of Shekalim to
build חדרים, ישיבות, כוללים, בית יעקב, סמינר, etc.
They also spend billions to support the בני תורה who learn Torah.
Over the past two thousand years,(maybe even beyond)
there has never been so much Torah learning anywhere in
the world as it is done now in Eretz Yisroel. There never was
such a large ציבור of תלמידי חכמים, בני תורה, שומרי תורה ומצות
The secular Zionists try to make it difficult to remain a Torah
observant Yid, yet they are the ones who are paying billions
of Shekalim for Rabonim, Dayanim, Mashgichim, Shuls,
& Mikvaos in every city & town in the country alleviating the
financial burden of Torah observant Yidden.
In every country in the world, the גזירת שמד today is rampant. Intermarriage is between 70%-85% in every country except in the Zionist State where intermarriage is less than 2-3% (still too many)
As much as the secular Zionists try to שמד Klal Yisroel, The
Ribono Shel Olam made sure their wishes won’t happen.
Despite the Zionist claim of כחי ועוצם ידי, etc. especially during
the six-day war, the whole בעלי תשובה movement we know of
today started during the war. For the past few thousand years
there have never been so many בעלי תשובה as we have today.
We could have had way more בעלי תשובה had we tried a little
harder not to make the non-Frum have reason to hate us.
Russian Jewry which seemed to be totally lost in the sixties
was part of the six-day war miracle.
Instead of the Zionists converting the Frum the opposite is
happening, the non-Frum become Frum.
Ben Yehudah, created the modern עברית so that the Frum
Yidden will give up their old fashion religion and become a
modern non-Frum society with its own modern language.
Today, the language used to learn Torah is mostly עברית. In most Chadorim, Yeshivos, Kollelim & Bais Yakovs the Shiurim & Schmussen are given in עברית. Chavrusos in the Bais Midrash
argue & shout at each other in the language that was intended
to keep them out of the Bais Midrash.
Yes, it’s true it is not yet a perfect world out there, but when
was the last time that it was? Even during בית ראשון, there
were Kings who were עובדי עבודה זרה.
Perhaps the secular Zionists should be the ones
to say הלל, being it was the Zionist State who
saved them from שמד.
Almost 100% of the European non-Zionist Maskilim
converted and abandoned Yiddishkeit. Their
descendants are all Goyim who don’t even know of
their Jewish heritage.
The only Maskilim descendants who are still Yidden
today are the Zionist Maskilim who made Aliyah &
live in Eretz Yisroel.
To sing hatkiva??! Hashem yishmor
Heartbreaking to watch yidden singing the כופרים׳ס anthem.
We’re in Galuth! No Jewish State till Moshiachs day.
We need to FAST on ה׳אייר!
